Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets 2011 from Pierre-Yves Colin is very austere on the nose with hints of beeswax, dewy green apples and granite scents that are tightly coiled. The palate is clean and fresh with a prickle of lemongrass on the entry. The acidity is well judged and there is a cheeky touch of white peach on the detailed finish. Reserved now, but this will repay time in the cellar.

Bright and limpid. Low-key nose but with great depth and savour. Tense attack. Very pungent and punchy. Lots of aerienne appeal. (JR)
